It takes a lot for me to bring a places article to Afd but it looks like we have another problem article from User:SKZssZZ, who's become a fixture at AFD with a WP:Walled garden of interlinked WP:OR articles. None of the references on the article seem to verify the existence of this "ancient village." And of course there's a massive coatrack section of near-gibberish, on "Syed Ali Arab Naqvi."

I see it was previously speedied for copyvio. The content comes from http://history.sadatesirsi.com/ which is described as being "owned" by one Syed Nawazish Murtaza Naqvi Sirsivi, (M.Sc. Chem. J.M.I. Univ. New Delhi). His website does cite authors. But his English-language competence -- or lack of -- is such that I daresay WP:TNT may apply, if nothing else.

- But it's poorly written, beginning "Most of the Sadat had come India migrating from West Asia in ancient period to get and spread the peace and spirituality. They got the land of India full." The title page ends with the appeal, "I would be very thankful for your valuable suggestions for improvement of this website." I think Wikipedia is being used a kind of webhost.

  - The copyvio content -- which I daresay was the author's own -- has been removed. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:28, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Fails WP:GNG. Poorly written. Not readable. SW3 5DL (talk) 20:53, 28 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Beyond the TNT aspect, the cited sources I was able to check don't mention this location, at all. Everything I see online is user-generated which makes me assume this is either a hoax or a locally-known name for somewhere else, which means this is probably a POV-fork of an article already in existence.

Heavily prune leaving a stub. In contrast to related family history articles, this one seems to be on a populated place, something we normally regard as notable. Peterkingiron (talk) 16:41, 30 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per all above. Could not find it on google maps. Having encountered this sort of thing before, it is likely fork wit an article with a different name. Dloh cierekim 04:13, 5 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
